High Grind is back with a heavier sound but keeping the psychedelic riffs that always have been part of them.

WE LEFT DRUGS IN THE HANDS OF ORGANIZED CRIME!!!!

This is the scoop from our new album, »War On Drugs«. The war on drugs failed; the archaic policies, the taboo and other serious omissions regarding the issue of drugs created the perfect environment for drug trafficking to dignify itself before our eyes!

Let’s start talking about this, let’s stop criminalizing users. The prisons are full of users but no dealers. Let’s stop falling for the state’s crude and archaic rhetoric. It’s been more than 15 years since Calderón’s failed war on drugs began, and we’re still suffering the ravages of one of the decisions that plunged our country into violence.
